At least in the US, when you are attending a degree program, a lot of times you can pick between several different types of classes to fulfill a specific requirement. For example, maybe you have the option to either take plant biology or invertebrate biology and it will satisfy the same requirement. So you choose plant biology because it interests you more.
And then there are often multiple class times available for some of the larger classes. So you can slightly tailor your education to different interests and your own schedule.
Except when I went to grad school…all of my classes were preselected for me in the way that you stated they were for you.
It’s not bad, it allows more freedom. You don’t have to graduate in 4 years if you don’t want. If you’re working part time you can just take 3-4 courses a semester instead of 5 courses and just take your time.
You can also choose different time slots for different courses to fit your life style, like only morning courses or only afternoon courses, no courses on Fridays, etc. (depending on the course popularity and how many are available each semester.
Mad. I applied for a course, accepted etc. First day induction given the lecture timetable. only way to miss would be my own fault
